I learned about McDowell when I was asked to research what surgery he performed on young James K. Polk. At the time (autumn 1978), historians had forgotten not only what surgery was performed, but who had done it. After several days in the bowels of Vanderbilt Library, I was able to determine both, not from any biography of Polk, but from a biography of McDowell. Oddly, though, the surgery I found documented 30 years ago (appendectomy) is no longer the treatment reported today. Last edited by Alcuin : 02-14-2009 at 08:29 PM. |
